Recommendations for Waterford?

dungarvans always nice and just down the road.

Forget Waterford, head for the Sunny South East :sun: , the rain is a bit warmer down here . When you get to New Ross pay a visit to the Dunbrody. https://www.dunbrody.com/ If you like trees, and who dosen't, drop in here for a few hours http://www.heritageireland.ie/…arboretum/ Blow out the cobwebs with a walk and a night or two at the oldest working lighthouse https://www.hookheritage.ie/ If you're into birds, http://www.wexfordwildfowlreserve.ie/
Whatever you do, enjoy.

What would be the spot to overnight over there? It's only 1 night, just a quick getaway for the weekend so it might be a bit too far for this one but always looking for newer places to visit



I know that one, super cool

Someone said recently you could park up in the old workhouse in Kilmacthomas. Halfway on the greenway so if you're into the bikes, you could go from there to Dungarvan, one day and Waterford the next.

I would have said the Hook also only 2 1/2 hrs and added Loftus Hall, Tintern Abbey ( Colclough Walled Garden, and wood walk ) and throw in the Ross Tapestry

We planning to head to Waterford as well. The suir railway looks like an option. There is the viking quarter in Waterford city along with two options for overnight parking.

Is this the same site that we were boycotting a couple years ago?

I'm 99% sure that it's one and the same, and they're false advertising. Claiming to be in the heart of the Sunny South East, they've some cheek. They're not even in the Sunny South East never mind the heart of it. Why can't people come up with their own slogans. Rant over.(for now)

Well John, if I commit to something I will see it through, I haven’t set foot in Dunmoreeast since and I certainly will not be supporting that site. I am NOT having a go at anyone, many of our new members don’t know what went on that time.I have no problem with people supporting the place, that is their own choice

My understanding of the situation. There was public parking free, some local lad decided "i can make money out of this", put a bit of pressure on, all of a sudden, no more free parking but you can park up in this lads place for 25 yoyo a night.
Just reeked of something rotten, hence the boycott.

Maybe you are right, maybe there is more to it. But from reading the original post, going back to 2013 i think, that seems to be the gist of it.

Yes it's great that Rescue 117 is based in the airport in Waterford in the South East, they do a fantastic job and I doubt we'd have them if ye hadn't built the airport down there. It was a struggle at times but your persistance paid off and we are all reaping the benefits now, well done. No one disputes the fact that the hospital and cancer care centre, in Waterford, are located in and cover the South East. What is in dispute is the title the "Sunny South East". This title was thought up by Mr Nicholas Kelly of Kelly's hotel in Rosslare at a meeting discussing ways to entice more tourists to the area.
#Kelly's Hotel grew with the 20th century. Bill Kelly remembers his grandfather, Nicholas, son of William and Mary: "He was an avid gardener, photographer and bird enthusiast who got together one of the most important historical collections of photos in the south-east. He was also the one who coined the phrase about this being the 'sunny south-east'. And he was right."#
Full article here: https://www.irishtimes.com/bus…-1.1158763 According to met Eireann Carnesore point has on average more hours of sunshine per year than any other part of Ireland. I rest my case.
p.s. Ye wouldn't like it, and rightly so, if God forbid we started to advertise "Come to Wexford, home of the Déise."

Aye and I felt every shagging drop. I’m thinking of trying to get the name changed to
The soggy south east

Still damp thought
